Roll grinding machines / cylindrical grinding machines for all fields of application

METEX exclusively uses SIEMENS CNC controls SINUMERIK ONE for its roll grinding machines. The grinding software required for this has been developed in close cooperation with our customers over the years and is constantly being adapted to the increasing needs of the user industry. We use further SIEMENS developments of their control systems so that our customers always have the latest control model.
